Happy New Year

Waiting on the sunrise 
to document another day, 
as I wake up in the morning 
to watch the blue replace the gray.

Another day in passing
of  a celebration or two, 
while counting my blessing
of each day I've have with you.

Like a dance in the meadow
on a warm and lovely spring day 
as the thoughts we share together 
can melt a mountain of snow away.

Our love has been scripted 
no mountains can keep apart,
the sweetness of a lifetime 
from heart to heart. 

The feeling a true gift 
that neither can deny 
as we begin another year 
with love bursting from 
inside.

Two Hearts, One Love













Down in the hollow
divided by the stream
on a large boulder
eroded from natures
own scheme.

The water trickles
under the star lit night
as I reach for your hand
to hold you tight.

Close and closer
as two hearts can be,
the image of love
is all that I see.

Silhouette of heaven
in an embrace so sweet,
paradise in the making
when you're here with me.

To the top of the hills
or down in the field
nature has a way of not
standing still.

Recording the memories
of your soul and mine,
a smile founds its place
in this moment of time.

I closed my eyes so
my heart could see
the real magic of love
is in the happiness you bring.

Down in the hollow 
divided by the stream
on a large boulder 
eroded from natures 
own scheme. 

The visual haunting
in the thought of you here,
as I whisper to the wind 
of the love we share.

LOVE

Strolling hand in hand
a sparkle in the eyes,
the simple pleasures
are triggered by the
mind.

Gaze upon the heavens
and I hope you will too,
as the magic of life is
full of love for you.

Heart and soul connected
it's a gift one can't deny,
this priceless moment
paints blue he sky.

No tears are falling
happiness dwells here,
no matter the distance
our love is here to share.

Gonna Pick A Cloud

Gonna set the stage 
as I close my eyes to sleep
and conjure up a moment
through my dreams.

Gonna choose the stars
to dance in your arms ,
and feel the warmth
right here in my heart.

Gonna pick a cloud 
to meet you tonight 
and hold you tenderly
for the rest of my life.










Crisp and cold the night,
stars ahead shining bright
and somehow I knew 
you could see them too.

Wind against my cheek
happiness when all is bleak,
a smile on my face 
as my heart begins to race.

I could feel you here, 
the love that you and I share,
special in its own way 
sunshine on cloudy days.

Nothing more wonderful
it's quite magical to me , 
to touch deep within my heart 
through my evening dream.





Eternal

I will love you
beyond the parting of the seas,
the crumble of a mountain
throughout the winter freeze.

No measurement is equal
to the power of our love
stronger with each moment
from the meadows to the heavens
above.

The years can melt like butter
and pass along they will but
 my love for you is everlasting
until this heart of mine stands
still.

                                         

                                             

Take Me With You



Take me with you and
hold me in your heart,
embrace the sweet love
though miles apart.

Follow the dreams
over mountains and seas
as they led your soul
directly to me.

Take me with you and
hold me in your heart,
wherever you travel
no matter how far.

Feel the love
like the sun on fire,
warms from within
giving us the power.

Take me with you and
hold me in your heart,
from season to season
from earth to the stars.

Gem






It's a rainbow in the making
to bridge your heart to mine,
arched across the blue sky
makes magic of a rhyme.

The treasure is in loving
and a gem is what you are,
the peaceful, sweet embrace
that touched my heart.

Smiles when I wake up
with every thought of you
as heaven sent the gift
when it directed me to you.

Hopping over clouds
the stars are yours and mine,
with the moonlight a glow
the script was written mighty fine.

You are the lead
in the chapter that we dwell,
a paradise in the making
that moved my spirit out of hell.

Gentle like an angel
you comfort my soul
wonderful as the sun rays
you chase away the cold.

It's a rainbow in the making
to bridge your heart to mine, 
arched across the blue sky 
makes magic of a rhyme.

Fluffed The Pillow

I took to the bedroom, 
fluffed the pillow beneath my head 
as I went about dreaming 
I rolled right off the bed.

Your arms were wide open 
and I stayed there awhile,
caught up in the dream
I couldn't hold back the smile.

Mountains high between us
and rivers deep and wide 
but nothing could keep 
me from your side. 

I saw through the darkness
as your love led the way 
and replaced a winter day 
while removing shades of gray.

You're my very own sunshine 
bringing warmth to my life 
casting rays of love down
and to my soul entice.

There's peace with the moment
a desire to hold you close 
as I go about dreaming 
in your love I am engrossed.

Reaching thru the darkness
I knew that you were here,
my hand interlocked with yours
was the answer to my prayer.

I'd sleep away the days 
just to hold you tight 
and wake up in a dream
thrilled with delight.

I took to the bedroom, 
fluffed the pillow beneath my head 
as I went about dreaming 
I rolled right off the bed.

Sweet Cupcake





Sings >Mistletoe and candy canes,
Christmas trees and white champagne,
untold stories and unwritten poems
above the clouds we are not alone.

Winter storms with snow of white
a season of love with you in my life,
hold on tight and quickly spin around
like a snowflake falling down.

I close my eyes for my heart to see
you are always here by me,
with each breath I take
I sense you my sweet cupcake.

Mistletoe and candy canes,
Christmas trees and white champagne,
untold stories and unwritten poems
above the clouds we are not alone.

Whispers of Love

When the stars take their place
twinkling bright in the sky 
I'll begin dreaming as my head
hits the pillow for the night.


Further than the mountains
and as close as two can be, 
the heavens over you 
are shining down on me. 

Sweet images calm the soul
with a warmth that removes the cold,
the embrace a wonderful treat to
hold your love within for eternity. 

The silence once ruled the night 

till the whispers of love gave it life,
passionate and powerful indeed 
it was the moon that brought your
love to me.

I'm not gonna wake up

I'm not gonna wake up
gonna stay in this dream awhile,
to feel your arms around me and
visualize your sweet smile.

I'm not rushing to the face the day,
it's just my blanket and I
as I challenge this cold winter
with your warm and loving style.

I'm not gonna wake up
gonna stay in this dream awhile
to feel your arms around me and
visualize your sweet smile.

Contagious is this moment
where happiness is abound,
sensed it with a dream like kiss
that lifted my feet off the ground.

I'm not gonna wake up 
gonna stay in this dream awhile
to feel your arms around me and
visualize your sweet smile.

Chills of the Soul







Some kind of miracle
to see me through life,
to hold my hand and
replace a wrong with
a right.

An embrace of spirits
as two hearts are one,
cliché or not it is a
special kind of love.

Remove the barriers
both day and night,
comforting the soul
with the love of life.

No tears to weep
nor heartache here,
reach out your hand
I'm waiting here.

To love and be loved
in our own kind of way,
a vision of forever
times a lifetime away.

~
I took to dancing
spun across the floor
my eyes closed and
in a forevermore.

Magical and haunting
you found your way to me
and there in the moment
I danced through a dream.


~
In a chill I quivered
while my body shook,
 as your presence was felt
like a character in a story book.

Written in the heavens
you are king and I your queen
that is the gift of love
you gave to me.

I hold it closely
when I am in need,
I close my eyes
and find you next to me.









Our Dance

I gazed up at the heavens
to the skies a sparkling blue
and my heart began racing
as I quickly thought of you.

Parted by the distance and
weighted like a rose with dew
and somehow I could feel your
love as if I were next to you.

I can't erase the yesterdays
or rewrite a chapter or two,
but with you this moment
is scripted with love for you.

No tears or sorrow between us
nor skies both dark and gray,
for this my love is quite special,
special in its very own way.

I gazed up at the heavens
to the skies a sparkling blue
and my heart began racing
as I quickly thought of you.

~

I'm gonna light a candle
enough to see you,
I'm gonna hold you close
and whisper " I love you."

This is our dance,
the dance of life,
forever and ever
day and night.

I'm gonna dream,
dream you in my arms
I'm gonna hold you
right here in my heart.

This is our dance,
the dance of life,
forever and ever
day and night.

I'm gonna wish
till we're a hundred one,
that you're gonna love me
under the moon and the sun.

This is our dance,
the dance of life,
forever and ever
day and night.

I'm gonna sing
a love song for you,
foolish or not that
is what lovers do.

This is our dance,
the dance of life,
forever and ever
day and night.


~
I challenge the mountains,
the rivers and the seas,
I challenge the distance
that keeps your flesh from me.


Tear drops have fallen
with emotion filled love,
they tell the story of you
and I as one.


I challenge the mountains,
the rivers and the seas,
I challenge the distance
that keeps your flesh from me.


~
If it were that easy
you'd be here in my arms,
like the love I have for you
that I hold in my heart.

I'm walking around blindly
and still I can see,
as the love I have for you
have given sight to me.



My children always called it " double digits" when you celebrate a birthday no longer in single numbers. They said it was leaving the child in you behind. I always felt that ten year old spirit kept one foot in childhood and one in adulthood. It was the teenage years that I felt I left a lot behind. Part of my love for life. I am not so fond of winter and yet there was a time when I didn't mind it at all. Somehow we are forced to grow up. But the compounded tears of heartache have me reaching for the child in me.
Lay beside me upon the new fallen snow, like a child playing and making angels in the snow. Throwing a snowball  and giving you a kiss or two, I'm celebrating winter just thinking of you.  The holiday season reminds us of what we lost but I'd rather focus on love, whew the room is getting hot.
Somehow a smile appears from these lips and my heart races at the thought of a kiss. I'll wipe away the tears before they freeze of ice and remember the magic that we have shared in this life.
 There is no fairy tale ending nor heaven written script. Unique as it is I close my eyes to taste the sweetness of your lips. Angels must have guided or directed in away that our souls would collide in the most unusual way.  So I hope you don't mind if I don't let go, I'm holding on to love as the love between us grows.

Thinking of You

When I glanced on out the window
at the sky a clear and bright blue,
my mind filled with memories
drifted to loving thoughts of you.

Like a secret to be treasured
I tucked you deep within my heart
to keep you ever close to me
so that we may never be far a part.

Sunshine when it's gray 
and a song to sing each day,
comes with each and every moment 
that our love has conveyed.

Magical powers that sets the world aglow
I can see and feel your love wherever I go.
It has been revealed like a dream in review
the love of two that starts each day a new.

I take this time to think
of all you mean to me
and that is how I spend my day
caught up in  dreaming of you

Da, da, da






The well ran dry
and the fire place cold,
so I took to the heavens
to feel your warm hold.

My eyes are closed
and my heart can see,
your hand in mine
in the ocean breeze.

Da, da da to the moment
and da, da, da to the day,
da, da,da to the dreams
that bring you my way.

The birds migrated and
the dogs all sleeping in
as the rain and snow
once more begin.

Winter is upon us
that much I know,
so I close my eyes
and watch our love grow.

Da, da , da to the moment
and da, da, da to the day, 
da, da, da to the dreams 
that bring you my way.

The silence is haunting
the darkness places a claim
as the clouds overhead 
decided to remain.

This is the magic and
mystery of love , 
when souls soar and
embrace out of love.

Da, da , da to the moment
and da, da, da to the day, 
da, da, da to the dreams 
that bring you my way.

You have to meet the challenge
and rewrite the wrongs, 
capture the joy in a simple
love song.

Take my hand 
as my heart is yours 
and dance on the clouds 
like never before.

Da, da , da to the moment
and da, da, da to the day, 
da, da, da to the dreams 
that bring you my way.
